I’ve been sent this article about privacy on Lemmy and I would like to have more opinions about it.
I come from the Matrix world where there is no history deletion neither but at least everything is encrypted.
Can we hope anything about privacy on Lemmy ?
Especially with all the attention it’s getting right now.
In regard to privacy, each Reddit alternative, Fediverse or not, is pseudonymous in design. I don’t understand the “privacy” concerns as topics 1,2,4 apply to many forums, sometimes even Reddit itself.
With number 3, that’s kind of the point of the Fediverse, to preserve and create content freely without a single point of control.
As for the controversy of the creator of lemmy, while bad, is a red herring. It has/had nothing to do with the privacy aspect of the question the OP was posting. Ziq, the commenter you see there, didn’t comment anything that answered the question, or refuted it either.
